The Gym Classic sneakers represent a modern rendition of the timeless 1960's tennis shoe. Crafted meticulously by hand, they originate from Moonstar's Kurume factory nestled in western Japan, a facility with a rich legacy dating back to 1873, renowned for its commitment to crafting robust and enduring footwear.
Drawing from a process dating back to 1844, vulcanized rubber forms the foundation of these sneakers. This technique entails blending natural rubber with sulphur, followed by heating. This transformative process alters the material's chemical composition, fostering robust crosslinks between polymers, thereby enhancing strength and durability. The term "vulcanized" pays homage to Vulcan, the Roman deity associated with fire.
Fashioned from thick canvas fabric composed entirely of 100% cotton, these sneakers boast an additional layer of protection in the form of a stout rubber toe cap. This reinforcement not only serves as a safeguard for the toes but also enhances the shoes' overall safety and longevity.
